I wouldn't call Tarsem Singh a great filmmaker by any means, but I've been a fan of his surrealist, fantastical visual style since The Cell, culminating in the surprisingly moving and beautiful The Fall.

That being said, although this trailer for Immortals (Relativity, 11.11.11) has some of the directors' trademark visuals, if I didn't know any better, I would have dismissed this as some hack regurgitating more 300 leftovers.

Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto. This thing cost $115 million? Yikes.

THE FALL was my Top film a few years ago, not only for its wonderful visuals but its narrative heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm back to blogging regularly so please stop by the Korova and hope you find a few recommendations. I also started a second blog on Hammer Films called HAMMER & THONGS because film critics have too easily discarded their cinematic treasures.
Though I was away from writing for 3 months, I always stopped by your blog to see what you were watching. Keep up the great work!
Will do, I was wondering where you went some days as your activity dwindled recently...look forward to more writing...
ReplyDeleteAnd "The Fall" definitely has heart, that little girl was devastating at times.
